Clever Pseudonym on The Ivy Exile

"The Right was a bad-faith actor that had to be destroyed".... I get this a lot too from my friends in the NYT/NPR/MSNBC bubble and I continue to be shocked by how deranged it sounds, and how people who I know are "educated" get so hopped up on media-generated exterminationist rage that they don't even stop to think through the consequences of their statements. If we define the "Right" as anyone of a conservative bent, from the religious to the social to the economic, then add country folk who are more temperamentally inclined to conservatism for various reasons, and then add some of the rest of us who've had an allergic reaction to the Resistance™ and the Social Justice era, doesn't this mean "destroying" somewhere around half the country? Also, the conservative/liberal dichotomy or dialectic or yin/yang is a natural part of humanity, I'm sure we all cross back and forth over it in various ways over various issues at various times of our lives: to think you can just eliminate one half of this very human proclivity, is like thinking you can slice away one hemisphere of your brain and still function. Also have any of our educated cosmopolitan elite read even a single history book? Haven't they learned what disasters happen once half a country declares war on the other half? It doesn't take a PHd to realize that this path can only lead to hatred and destruction. Thanks for fighting the good fight, compromise is always the best solution, in almost any situation. Cheers!
